I think the answer to No. 1 is Marv Fleming, and No. 4 is Staubach.

Ooh, that reminds me: In 1943, Sammy Baugh led the NFL in passing, punting and interceptions but was not named MVP.

What are the most unbreakable records still on the books? Two that come to my mind involve interceptions. Tommy Morrow intercepting a pass in 8 straight games is pretty unlikely in today's NFL, as is San Diego having 49 interceptions in 1961. Paul Krause's career total of 81 (or is it 82?) is untou...

For perspective, the 1960 Eagles Packers NFL Championship Game was played on Monday, Dec. 26, 1960 because Christmas fell on Sunday that year.

Good memory! Here's the clip of it - It was Mike Cofer against the Vikings (via the Quirky Research YouTube channel!) Sure enough, you hear somebody yell, "WHY?" at the end. I gotta tell you, it sure was wonderful hearing Summerall and Madden again in their prime. Highly enjoyable clip. I...

I believe the Redskins tried one of these in the 1980s with Steve Cox kicking. No idea just when it might have happened, though -- and of course I can't really be sure, either.

I thought this contributor category was a joke back when it was first suggested, and it's certainly lived up to all my expectations since then. But this description might be the funniest item yet: "Frank “Bucko” Kilroy: Worked in player personnel and scouting for the Philadelphia Eagles, Washin...
